Selecting Double-line Conveyors based on Load and Speed
The diagram shows double-line conveyor systems based on their load and speed. The comparison shows
timing belt conveyors (ZRF), chain conveyors (KTF) and accumulating roller chain conveyors (SRF).

ZRF-P 2010
with 0.55 kW
SRF-P 2010 is
preferred for buffer
lines with a high load
and accumulation of
up to 15 m/min
ZRF-P 2010
is preferred for the
rapid transfer of
single pallets with
high acceleration
Speed m/min
Total load m kg per conveying path, per drive in continuous operation (accumulated operation maccumulated = 2 x mcontinuous)

*Usual load limits that may be exceeded based on the configuration and influencing factors.
Influencing factors for the load include: width, timing belt material, load distribution, duty type and environmental
conditions.
Timing Belt Conveyor
With a coated timing
belt conveyor or chain
conveyor (friction
coefficient μ = 0.2)
With a well lubricated
accumulating roller
chain conveyor (friction
coefficient μ = 0.07)
